I remember a while ago on the Betta forum there was a question about temperment and color. I was wondering if there is any difference in Gourami temperment relating to color? I have a red gourmi. He is calm and collected.
There is a vast difference in temperament between the various species of Gouramie, but I doubt very much if colour differences in the same specie would have an effect.
I have a 'wild type' dwarf gourami so he has blue and red stripes and he's a bit of a nutter. Swims up and down the glass frantically for a bit then pops off to have a look at some neons before remembering that he was swimming up and down. Its very funny to watch. Dont know if that's just because he's a maniac or if others of the same colouring are the same.
